(A) 寫作前準備 (Prewriting)
當你提筆寫作時,會否感到腦中一片空白或不知從何開始?在一連幾節課中,你將會學習到一些組織資料及意念的技巧,令你寫作時更易表達自己的思想和論點。
1. 第一課 Brainstorming
當你看到題目時,將即時聯想到的意念寫下,首先可從一字(a word),一短語(a phrase)開始,然後讓自己的思想隨意走,聯想到什麼便寫什麼,無須講求邏輯,務求盡快在十數分鐘或指定時間內列出字詞表。跟著看看那些字詞與題目相關,然後將它們組合成有用資料。
例子:
The following is an example of a brainstorm. The writer has marked with an asterisk(*) the ideas she could use to write a physical description of her mother.
cooking *fat *wrinkled
*short *glasses meals
iron clothes *spots on hands television
*twinkle in eye market *grey hair
